Renewable Energy From Algae?
Ravalox writes "With alternate fuel becoming a fairly hot trend in recent months, some academics may have applied their theoretical know-how to give us a practical solution. They offer up the idea that certain types of algae are well-suited to biodiesel production as they are nearly 50 percent oil. The article speculates that large pools could be created to farm out biodiesel from algae in areas near waste streams and salt water. They postulate that to replace our fossil fuel usage it would take only a total of a little over ten thousand square miles, which could fit in an area like the Sonora Desert."
Way to go with the cygwin. I just bought a 512 usb drive and was looking for a proper os/os emulator to put on it. I saw feather linux, which may be viable - but I don't want to have to boot to my pen drive. I also needed to use fat. So I was looking back at cygwin and realized you had to mod the registry and paths to get it to run. You saved me some work this weekend :-) Although I will be adding alot to it. I really look forward to your perl version.
